Ventopuro wines bring together the best that Chile’s valleys have to offer, demonstrating the tremendous diversity of terroirs within Chile’s wine growing valleys of the San Antonio & Casablanca appellations.
The proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides vineyards with cool nights, morning mist and sea breezes during afternoons, with rain only during the winter season. All these conditions help to achieve slow ripening, healthy grapes with crisp natural acidity and intense flavours. While the area’s granite soils are poor in nutrients and very rich in quartz minerals. This soil allows for excellent drainage and root penetration.
Combined with this passion for wine is Ventopuro’s commitment to sustainability. The team believes it is their duty to preserve Chile for future generations and has developed three key sustainability projects:
• Plastic recycling, which recycles any plastic necessary within the winery
• Woodworking which invites the local community into workshops and woodworking projects using wood from the winemaking process
• Native trees project sees Ventopuro plant one native tree for every 100 cases of wine sold
Ventopuro is from the world renowned Matetic Vineyards
“Matetic takes us back to pioneers gazing at new horizons, this being an essential component of the luggage that the family’s first generations brought from Croatia and Asturias, the sustenance of this project in the Valley, which does not only focus on the creation of wines, but also on the rescue of traditions and identity.”
“Memory is built with infinite fragments from which a unique world appears, crowded with family images to be preserved and treasured. That is what the Valley is. Living memory of life and existence.”
